Nigel's Blooming A-May-Zing!!!!

Hi Everyone, hope you are all well!

 

Today I have my 1st Sneak Peek at the fabulous new CD by Nigel May,

BLOOMING A-MAY-ZING!!!!

 

It's launch is going to be live on Create & Craft on 14th January at 6pm from the CHA shows in America!

 

For my 1st card I choose the Yellow Roses and used one of the Card Companions onto a 6x6 scalloped card.  I edged the backing paper with one of my Spectrum Noirs and then added glitter, buttons and ribbon!
